A conference on interdisciplinary research and education in Latin America

Abstract

There is an increasing number of scientists who recognize that their research questions cannot be answered from a single discipline. “The best interdisciplinary science” comes from this recognition, since it allows recognizing the limitations of disciplinary approaches to address some research questions (Nature 2015; Repko, 2008; Repko et al. 2011). Several interdisciplinary studies have analyzed the difficulties of interdisciplinary entrepreneurship in academic settings (Bruce et al. 2004; Klein 1990; Bruun et al. 2005).
